4Pcs* 125W FLUORESCENT GROW LIGHT BULB 500W=2500W 6500K - eBay Hydroponics Seed Starting, Gardening Plants, Yard, Garden Outdoor Living, Home Garden. (end time 13-Jun-08 13:07:37 AEST)
I might be able to get them shipped to me.
US $152.994x125w = 500w = Awesomeness.
You will have a hard time finding any 130W bulbs in W.A cheaper than this. Just make sure they come with a warranty and shit. 130W bulbs in W.A cost about $100 each.
If you are going to go out and buy them local, Aquarium and Hydro stores stock 130W sizes, Red Dot is the best place to get your small 30W supplement bulbs. They are only like $3 each, in fact If I was going to do it again I would just get a shit load of small bulbs and spend like $30 for 300W of light.
Good luck man, how many plants you growing?

Ok here is the best advice ... them 23w cfls havnt got the lumen intentisty .
so this is y :::::::::::::
a 30w clf has 2000 Lumen intensity (so it cant penetrate the bud deep enough thats why you get reli small buds)
125w Envirolite cfl 12000 Lumen intensity (Envirolites can penetrate bud ok still not great but still with more light it will)
a 400w hps has around 55000 Lumen intensity (hps will penetrate bud great up to 10 ft away)
